My Simulations Experience

You

  • Your name
  • What drew you to ISE (or this course if you’re not ISE)
  • Anything in particular you want to see in the recitation (applications, content, etc.)

Typical Recitation Plan

We get 1:20 together each week

  • 5 min Recap & Questions
  • 15 min demo
  • 45 min collaborative lab
  • 15 min open time to work

Additional Assistance/Office Hours/Help

  • Send me a message on Canvas anytime, I will respond within 1 business day
  • Office hours (just stop by, no appointment needed):
    • Wednesdays: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
    • Weeks Hall 222 (Zoom if necessary, send me a message on Canvas)
  • Or by appointment (send me a message on Canvas)

Recitation Objectives

  1. You can simulate complex systems and communicate findings effectively
  2. You are competent in an open-source, general-purpose programming language
  3. You can produce high-quality technical reports

This is YOUR Recitation

  1. Give me feedback if you all need/want something else
  2. Come prepared ready to engage with the material
  3. Do not be distracting or take away from your peers’ experience
